You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 30. March 2020

Det har kome mykje snø dei siste dagane og enkelte områder har fått over 50 cm. I helga har sterk vind transportert snø til søraustlege leområder. Måndag har vindretninga snudd og pålagringa er no i nordaustleg til austlege lesider.

Det eldre snødekket ber preg av milde temperaturar og påfølgjande tilfrysing i førre veke. I låglandet er snøen generelt grovkorna og stabil.

Observatørar melder måndag om 30-50 cm nysnø frå dei siste dagane.

Mountain weather

Monday 30. March 2020

4-7 mm precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -11 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 31. March 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the west during renoon. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Kraftig vind, tilgjengeleg ubunden snø og stadvis mykje ny nedbør vil gje stor snøtransport til austlege og nordaustlege leområder. Her vil ein få auka pålagring og ferske fokksnøflak. Det ligg òg eldre flak mot søraust som treng tid på å stabilisere seg.

Stigande temperatur og regn under 900 moh aukar faren for våte laussnøskred.

Ein lyt vere merksam på store skavlar i nord- og austlege fjellsider.
